Starting the Conversation
Starting a discussion about care needs with a senior loved one can be difficult. Deciding when to start the conversation is important. It is never too early to discuss what care might be needed and the desires of the person that will be receiving care. Nine out of 10 seniors want to remain in their home as they age and in-home care can help them. There are many options for in-home care, from the type of care services to the number of hours a week. Making plans before there is an emergency or sudden problem in the senior’s home helps alleviate stress for everyone.
Boost Your Defenses With Bioenergetics
Computerized Bioenergetics is comprised of Biofeedback testing and Bioresonance stimulation. Biofeedback testing identifies strengths and weaknesses in your immune system. Bioresonance helps to stimulate detoxification of the lymphatic system, liver, kidney and bowel. This enables elimination of viruses, bacteria, yeast, and parasites, rather than having them recirculate and create a toxic environment throughout the body. Bioresonance also helps to boost immunity by stimulating specific organs and harmonizing your immune system. It can also aid in the absorption and utilization of vitamins and minerals essential for your immune system. Now is a great time to boost your immune defenses with Bioenergetics.
Foods Affect Feelings
What we eat can impact our mood, memory, and mental wellness. Our brains are filled with a variety of chemicals, hormones, and receptors that all react to the food we eat. In fact, serotonin is actually produced in our guts, and is directly impacted by what we eat. For example, the grumpiness we feel when we are very hungry can be combated by eating foods high in protein and fibre to keep us feeling full. Omega-3s and other brain-boosting amino acids can help with depression and improve mental wellness, while B vitamins can help us feel more energized.

Acupuncture for Vertigo
Vertigo is the sensation that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning. This feeling may be barely noticeable, or it may be so severe that you find it difficult to keep your balance. Acupuncture has been used for the alleviation of dizziness and vertigo for over a thousand years. Practitioners of Acupuncture indicate that many conditions involving dizziness are caused by imbalances in the body. They follow a holistic approach, as they consider the overall health of the body and whether there is an imbalance in the qi, the body’s life force. This approach addresses the root cause of our dizziness and provides long-lasting symptom relief.
